Which line for 2004 spool?

My RCS spool for my luvias will be here any day now. I am wondering what I should spool it with. I am currently using 4lb Basshard on one spool and 5lb power pro on the other. I did a few test and using a 1/16th jig head the basshard casts around 3m further then the 5lb power pro. But the knot strength and line strength is no way near the power pro honestly I dont trust it I feel as though it breaks in random places. On the other hand though I sometimes find the 5lb to thick for casting light plastics or hard bodies. Specially when casting in any sort of wind the basshard cuts straight through it.


I am wondering what anyone would recommend that's thin, Strong, Has good knot strength and of course casts well. Going on a 2004 spool so it needs to be pretty thin to get a decent amount on line on there. Capacity - PE 0.6 100m - Fluro Carbon 3lb - 140m, 4lb - 100m

Was thinking of going the new fireline exceed 6.6lb is 0.09mm, Power pro in 3lb ( cant find any diameter on it or a true breaking strain ) Or maybe a sunline super PE ?. What else is out there that should suit my needs?

I run 6lb Super PE on my 2004 Certate. Casts well, no problems with wind knots and its pretty cheap.

4.4lb Fireline Exceed of 4lb Nanofil.

Exceed has a great colour for plastics, Nanofil is just insane if your into skipping plastics into structure.

I think something not as thin as basshard but not as thick as power pro should do wonders. Going to look into the super pe. Does it come in a color easy to see?

According to that line testing site breaks around 9lb. Should work nicely I
Think.

Super pe comes in Lime green or white.
My choice would be the sunline super pe on that spool


I still like my
* fireline crystal 3lb
* sunline super pe 6lb
* power pro 5lb

I have just spool some exceed fireline
At first feel I'm happy with it.

How well does the sunline tie? I mostly use fc rock 6 -10 pound. Does it require the slim beauty or Albrights hold up on it?
